Reflective essay on a presentation

REFLECTION ESSAY: In the first place, I had to avail all the relevant materials that could help me to develop my PowerPoint presentation so that when the time for presenting it to the audience comes, I would have no problem doing the best I can. I therefore had to prepare a student feedback sheet for my verbal presentation whereby people who will watch my presentation could in a better position to comment on how I introduced myself and the topic I wanted to share with them .
